2nd or 3rd grade. Squeak. Squeak.

My friend Amy is looking for books for her 2nd grader, age 7, who reads above her grade level.

Amy wants squeaky clean books. Judy Blume was recommended to her, but you know about Blume. Good writer, can't trust her content. (Are you there, Reader? It's me Blume, and sometimes I'm sketchy.)

I have some ideas, but I'd love some more before I post a list for Amy. Can anyone with kids this age give us some ideas?

little this

I've been in a "little this, little that" mood, reading here and there. Garlic and Sapphires, Guernsey . . . the kids have been sick and I've been having a short attention span.

But long enough to read Harry Potter 7.

Which was good.

Again.

More books to resume soon. Soon I'll be able to think more than just, "Who sneezed? I know that was a BIG sneeze, now where is it?
